| Abstract: | Com a descoberta do cinema no fim do século 19, novas formas de representar e de exprimir o Religioso nasceram. A indústria cinematográfica percebeu rapidamente que o filme tinha o poder de atrair novas audiências e transformou a mensagem religiosa explícita num discurso teológico implícito no cinema de ficção. Hoje, o conceito de “cinema” tem que ser repensado e alargado, tal como a noção de “Transcendental” porque a forte impressão de realidade da imagem fílmica pode mergulhar o espectador numa verdadeira experiência religiosa. With the creation of the moving image at the end of the 19th Century a new way of representing and expressing the Religious was born. The cinema industry rapidly understood that film has a powerful way to attract new audiences and transformed the explicit religious message into an implicit theological discourse of the fictional film. Today, the concept of “cinema” needs to be rethought and expanded, as well as the notion of “Transcendental” since the strong reality effect of the film image can allow a true religious experience for the spectator. |
